we ran a multi-decade extraction of points-in-time for 46000 points 1993-2024 (at bottom level, it's variable so we indexed the level upfront for each point) ran this the "traditional way" using #terra #GDAL to extract points from relevant layers (point-sets grouped by date,level) for salt,temp,u,v,w,mld - ran on 28cpus with #furrr/#future took ~80min
will get a public dataset to repeat the example for illustration (elephant seals I hope)
mi viene da piangere, a pensare che siamo ancora a farci la guerra, invece di collaborare per rendere Gaia, la nostra astronave spaziale, ancora più confortevole.
Uffa, io non trovo difficile immaginare, in tempi terrestri, un evoluzione della Terra in un esser capace di illuminare il buio cosmico quando i soli si spegneranno.
Chi vieta di pensare che il nostro pianeta sia in realtà un ovulo e che un giorno nascerà un esser luminoso che porterà la luce nel buio universo?
Tipo una Fenice.
Non penso poi, che questo sia l'unico pianeta che porti una vita dentro di esso.
Mi pare anche strano che poi ci sia sempre il buio ovunque...
my main complaint with #terra so far is that it's too fast and doesn't give me time to think about what I'm doing next 
IGNORE! This was my error!
potentially stupid #terra #rstats question:
I have a raster, r, say where some cells have values and others don't and a circular buffer, buff.
I do:
terra::extract(r, buff, xy=TRUE)
some of the returned x,y coordinates are (0,0) which are not in the range of the projected coordinates of r or buff.
Why is that?
Il nucleo terrestre non è più un mistero immutabile: la scoperta che il centro della Terra può deformarsi apre scenari inaspettati sulla rotazione del pianeta e sul campo magnetico. Una rivelazione che rivoluziona decenni di teoria geologica, con potenziali effetti sulla durata del giorno e sul campo magnetico.

"Montenegro has recently been able to reach its first “final verdict” that was actually final enough to see Kwon actually board a plane, and he arrived in the United States to appear in court on January 2. This was celebrated by Prime Minister Milojko Spajić, who tweeted that he believed the extradition would “put an end to pre-election manipulations and attempts to stage a scandal”. Kwon is probably not as happy about the outcome as Spajić. Although he fought both extradition to the United States and South Korea, he seemed particularly opposed to the idea of winding up in the United States, with his lawyers at one point arguing that Montenegrin courts had falsified information so as to suggest that the United States requested Kwon's extradition before South Korea, and stating that the facts “absolutely and one hundred percent give priority to Korea.” He’d tried again to halt this extradition, too, by again claiming that Minister of Justice Bojan Božović had illegally granted it, but to no avail.
The eight fraud, market manipulation, and money laundering charges carry hefty maximum sentences, and Kwon stands accused of causing $40 billion in losses to at least hundreds of thousands, if not more than a million people. He’s entered a not guilty plea, as is to be expected this early on, and is likely to do a whole lot more sitting around in a jail cell as prosecutors and defense attorneys sift through discovery. “Sounds like we’re going to be backing up a U-Haul to the Southern District,” District Judge Paul Engelmayer joked about the apparent six terabytes of data, before scheduling the trial start date a whopping year away in January 2026 (while offering Kwon and his defense team the opportunity to request an earlier trial)."
